Tottenham have signed 21-year-old Czech goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Prague in a deal worth about £12.5m.
Spurs have been without first-choice keeper Guglielmo Vicario since he fractured an ankle on 24 November during the 4-0 win over Manchester City.

Tottenham are set to sign Slavia Prague goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky in a deal worth about £12.5m.
